Video released by Russia appears to show Ukrainian marines surrendering

Russian state TV on Wednesday (April 13) released what it said was footage of Ukrainian soldiers surrendering in the city of Mariupol. Reuters has not been able to independently confirm the surrender of forces or verify the authenticity of the video.

There were over 1000 Marines, several battalions, who had surrendered in Mariupol over the last 4 days. There are numerous long videos of: surrender process itself, personal identification, RF forces taking care of the wounded, conversations with the POWs (including their commanders and political officers), they're been all over Telegram for DAYS now. The marines are saying that they've been basically abandoned by the Ukrainian central command and left without food, water, medicine, or combat supplies. They made one final attempt to break out and then gave up.

HOW INTERESTING that this news site (or any of the usual Western mass media channels) either don't mention it at all, or put a note that they haven't been able to verify the reports. I guess they don't like the news, huh?

It is an old video clip that was shown a while ago. Do not play into the hand of the Russian propaganda.

5 STAGES OF ACCEPTANCE

Stage 1 denial
Stage 2 anger
Stage 3 bargaining
Stage 4 depression
Stage 5 acceptance

After having been starved to surrender, they still look quite strong.

Are they really Ukrainian soldiers? None of them wear blue or yellow armband. Feels like propaganda.

Is it me, or did all mainstream media suddenly stopped talking about Covid, started saying the same thing
Turned Zelensky into a superhero, Russia into a supervillain, and war into marvelous idea?
Maybe it's just me.

[Herb...StateChamps]

Not a single Ukrainian identifying insignia. Yea ok Putin. Cool story bro.

[antiprogpragmatist]

Curious as to why the Russian military would wear caps that spell “Russia” using the English alphabet

[professortrog]

Where are their blue armbands? UA flags? Asov insignias? Nowhere, because this is fake.

surrounded in Mariupol by about 300 European mercenaries, soon there will be a video of their capture

[Alfarojv]

In case people didn't know; Mr. Zelensky was an actor, a comedian, and he was on dancing with the stars and won.
Also, we should suddenly believe everything the mainstream media says. It's not like they're all saying the same thing or anything. Makes sense to me. (reagan and trump were corrupt too)

[milehighkush]

Fakest thing ive seen in a while, video was posted a week ago, as well as there is no insignia nor blue tape on there arm.

[rbstevns]

Can anyone confirm those are Ukrainian soldiers? No Ukraine colors and video cuts out to random Russians, seems like the Russian propaganda machine would give a very detailed look if it was true

[boredutopia]

Their uniforms and faces are kinda too clean for someone who thought for 40+days, no water, heavy shelling.... also they don't look exhausted.. something is wired here

It must be so hard for you to show the truth that you disabled the sound. Still happy to see how Russian soldiers are treating them well although I believe that the nazis don’t deserve it.

[nicky]

Did anyone notice they didn't have arm band on hmmm

[hamtan]

You do not need a full film to show 1000 soldiers surrending lol.. there are a lot of them.. over a vast area. Some might still trying last attempt and got shot and die. No way shooting all these for you to watch.

[vahidaria]

Russian claimed thousands of Ukrainian surrendered, but they are not even 20 😂😂
Is anyone having any news from AZOV battlian in mariupol?

[stevensteven]

Thank God, for this men the war is finally over.

The Ukraine soldiers were attempting to link up with other Ukraine forces, but they took a wrong turn and walked straight into the Russians.
